Stamp duty in Tasmania
Tasmania has a simple progressive duty scale. With a median house price lower than mainland capitals, stamp duty bills are generally more manageable. Tasmania's 100% stamp duty exemption for first home buyers of established homes ended on 30 June 2026; a $20,000 First Home Owner Grant remains for newly built homes.
Policy note: Tasmania's First Home Owner Grant for newly built homes is $20,000 from 1 July 2026 (down from a $30,000 boost) under the 2026-27 Budget, which has passed the Tasmanian Parliament. The 100% first-home duty exemption on established homes ended on 30 June 2026, so established-home buyers now pay standard duty.
Foreign buyer surcharge: Tasmania applies an 8% Foreign Investor Duty Surcharge (FIDS) on residential property — in line with most mainland states.

At $1.3 million to $2 million, stamp duty is a six-figure cost in most states — ranging from $50,000 to over $90,000. Properties at this level include family homes in desirable suburbs, prestige apartments, and investment-grade houses. No first home buyer concessions apply (except for eligible ACT buyers, who remain fully exempt under the Home Buyer Concession Scheme regardless of price). For buyers who don't qualify for a concession, VIC has the highest absolute duty at this level, and the ACT's flat rate on the full value above $1,455,000 means its standard duty is no longer the cheapest of the eastern jurisdictions at this price point.
Stamp duty negotiation leverage
At $1.5 million, stamp duty in NSW is approximately $67,000. In negotiations, a $50,000 reduction in purchase price saves both the price difference and reduces stamp duty by approximately $2,000-$3,000. Include stamp duty savings when evaluating counter-offers.
Consider land tax implications
At this price range, investment properties will likely attract annual land tax in addition to stamp duty. Land tax thresholds vary by state — NSW starts at $1,075,000 (land value, not property value). Owner-occupied homes are generally exempt from land tax in all states.
Typical buyers: High-income professionals, executives, families upgrading to premium suburbs, and investors in established residential markets.
